Subj: Re: [DR-L] cleaning sticky pads (cork)
Date: Fri, 06 Apr 2007 14:33:06 -0400

Yes, Woodwind All, in a spray can, about $7 plus
change at most doublereed outlets. I think Forrests in
Berkeley has the best price if you factor in S/H. If
you don't have that, soak a piece of folded cigarette
paper in alcohol & rub the cork with that. It tends to
dry the cork out. I have used Favor spray furniture
polish which is mainly silicone to good advantage
also. Either the All or the Favor will work about
equally. If you need to clean out the hole, spray a
pipe cleaner with the solution & then clean out the
hole, just be careful not to touch the backside of the
bore with the wire end of the pipe cleaner.

Best,

john
